Rick launched Bold Steps in 2009 after retiring from HSBC after 25+ years. At HSBC, Rick held a variety of leadership positions with the mission of driving consistency across many technology platforms worldwide. At Bold Steps, he is thrilled to be leading a motivated team with a passion to help businesses overcome obstacles and achieve their visions. He even trademarked the word Boldmentum® to serve as a reminder of what bold leadership often creates... momentum!

Rick has been around the world several times on business but is now thoroughly enjoying the local business theater and opportunities to make a difference in the community (he leads the Taste of Wheaton for the Chamber of Commerce, as an example). A happy reality for Rick is that the lessons learned in global leadership transfer nicely to leadership at Bold Steps.

Rick and his wife, Tammy, are longtime Wheaton residents, where they raised two sons and have many memories. Rick is also the resident marathon runner at Bold Steps!
